Speaker 1: Watch up and welcome back to another episode of No
Speaker 1: Sealers Podcast with your hosts now fuck That with your
Speaker 1: loaw glasses Malone.
Speaker 2: I waited for you for this topic, Pete, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: waited for you.
Speaker 1: Y'all waited for you. I thought this would be interesting
Speaker 1: for you. This it seems like your type of topic
Speaker 1: for the No Sentence Podcast.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm always in self. I prefer self checkout because
Speaker 3: I don't like having to interact with the cashier.
Speaker 2: I hate self checkout really, I mean like I hated.
Speaker 1: Why everything about it is just horrible, Like even for
Speaker 1: whatever it gives you an efficiency, all you trade in
Speaker 1: is just the human experience. Like, if you don't have
Speaker 1: no value for human experience, then I can understand why.
Speaker 2: You value your self check out.
Speaker 1: What human experience greeting someone like somebody working the counter,
Speaker 1: Why would they do that? Why would humans want to
Speaker 1: exchange with other humans?
Speaker 3: Well that human I mean not to like knock on them,
Speaker 3: but like we have no relationship. I don't know that person.
Speaker 3: We're not carrying this interaction elsewhere. I mean it start, stop,
Speaker 3: it's over. It's just.
Speaker 1: You don't think there's no value even in those short
Speaker 1: term relationships where you meet people.
Speaker 3: Not only is there not value, there's cost, but.
Speaker 2: You don't really lose costs. It's the same process of
Speaker 2: you lose time.
Speaker 1: You're not a faster checkout person than the person at
Speaker 1: the counter, oh I am yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah by far?
Speaker 2: So now you do their job better than them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is fifteen years. They've been doing it
Speaker 3: for three.
Speaker 2: How have you been doing it for fifteen years?
Speaker 3: I've been doing self checkout for fifteen fucking years. It's
Speaker 3: not new.
Speaker 2: Do you steal anything? Sometimes?
Speaker 3: I used to.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 3: I what I hear when I used to Here's what
Speaker 3: it really was was like because when I was when
Speaker 3: I was like a team with a teacher, when I
Speaker 3: was steel.
Speaker 2: I'm about to ask you, I'm about to ask you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm asking you.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: Not not when you was young and dumb. I mean,
Speaker 1: what about it as an adult made you.
Speaker 3: Like that?
Speaker 2: You was like, you know what?
Speaker 3: It was the fact that if I was buying a
Speaker 3: lot of stupid one off produce items to make something sure,
Speaker 3: it was just faster to hit in one thing and
Speaker 3: then weigh at all like it's one thing because they
Speaker 3: weren't looking that closely and then put it in the bag, rather.
Speaker 1: Than really what it was was it was the fact
Speaker 1: that they didn't let you just put in the number.
Speaker 1: If they would have let you scan the produce and
Speaker 1: put times five, it'd been you.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't even be nothing. No, you can do that.
Speaker 3: It would be like, say, I'm buying five different kind
Speaker 3: of peppers. I was making a salsa. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: know that jlapannos are the cheapest in Wait. I would
Speaker 3: just put in halapeno, put all the peppers there, and
Speaker 3: if they bleed a dollar in value, then I'm taking
Speaker 3: a buck to the bank. I'm thrust you at the
Speaker 3: bag over, okay. Or if I knew that, Like there
Speaker 3: was a tomato and the tomatoes come up, I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: that's a cheaper tomato than mine, So fuck it. I
Speaker 3: guess I'm getting that tomato today. Stupid shit, Like.
Speaker 1: You want me to tell you something crazy. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: never stolen from self checkout. I believe that.
Speaker 2: What's funny?
Speaker 1: So well, I've actually ended up not paying for something,
Speaker 1: but only because I didn't know how to work the
Speaker 1: machine when I scanned it and I thought it scanned
Speaker 1: and I walked out and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: so you pay with your car, you scan your items,
Speaker 1: you pay your card. I'm like, okay, man, I get
Speaker 1: the receipt. I'm talking on the phone. I might've been
Speaker 1: talking to you or stealing somebody. I'm talking to one
Speaker 1: of y'all and I'm just having this conversation. And I
Speaker 1: get out in the car and I look at my
Speaker 1: phone and it says I paid thirty six dollars. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'm one of them type of
Speaker 1: people that shop and I estimate exactly how much I'm
Speaker 1: gonna spend, so I.
Speaker 2: Spend my money.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this shitd probably costs about fifty dollars, So
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm like, damn, what didn't
Speaker 1: I pay for it? And not just stare at the
Speaker 1: receipt to figure it out?
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like.
Speaker 2: It was a little low right there?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh that might not be me, that might be you.
Speaker 1: That might be your value, That might be your value,
Speaker 1: that might be.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: Do you think that this will come to the mic
Speaker 3: for halving the audio on the desktop.
Speaker 1: If you have the audio on the desktop. No, probably
Speaker 1: it might not bleed. Okay, it may not. It shouldn't.
Speaker 1: We'll have a crappy show, but it's okay, we could
Speaker 1: gamble a little bit. But yeah, I never really got
Speaker 1: into it. But I get so frustrated at the world's
Speaker 1: pursuit of convenience.
Speaker 3: Yeah you don't. You don't value time.
Speaker 1: I truly do value time, but I want a quality experience,
Speaker 1: Like I don't just want time to have time, like,
Speaker 1: I want time filled with quality things.
Speaker 2: So like if it meant like I can.
Speaker 1: Go somewhere and get my food in ten minutes and
Speaker 1: then get back home to sit down and eat and
Speaker 1: watch TV versus you know, I'll get a meal that's
Speaker 1: a five and then I get it extra twenty minutes
Speaker 1: to get back home and eat, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I would rather sit at a restaurant like I go
Speaker 1: to the grilled chicken place that's about the studio all
Speaker 1: the time, and I'll just.
Speaker 3: Sit there and eat.
Speaker 1: So they I lose an hour of time because I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and eating and bringing it. But the quality
Speaker 1: experience of enjoying my food fresh hot, not you know,
Speaker 1: not way down, not giving my attention to the television,
Speaker 1: not giving my attentions to anything else, but just just
Speaker 1: sitting there, taking in the ambiance of of you know,
Speaker 1: of something you know, you know, energy that's in the
Speaker 1: room that may not exist in the studio.
Speaker 2: Off I go eat at the studio.
Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. But there's a discernible quality
Speaker 3: difference between a lot of foods where you eat it
Speaker 3: right then and there versus later, even if it's only
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes later. I ever don't see what the quality
Speaker 3: of the experience is standing there in lying at the
Speaker 3: grocery store.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a let her one let her that.
Speaker 1: That's a uh, that's a I actually really enjoyed my
Speaker 1: experiences at the grocery store. Like people talk shit, I
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store just about every day. When
Speaker 1: I'm actually eating and my body is at optimal function,
Speaker 1: I realize my greatest my greatest, my greatest move is
Speaker 1: when I actually go to.
Speaker 2: The grocery store every day or the day before.
Speaker 3: Sure, I've been like three times a week, four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I enjoyed my time at the grocery store.
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what I enjoy, but I enjoyed
Speaker 1: my time at the grocery store. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's the fresh produce in the air or you know,
Speaker 1: seeing people, you know, trying to feed their family.
Speaker 2: Something about it brings me joy.
Speaker 3: I tried adding a grocery store into my like, there's
Speaker 3: certain I can never get everything I want at one store.
Speaker 3: It's so absurd, and I don't even ask for much.
Speaker 3: There's a Dominican market near me. It's like a normal
Speaker 3: sized grocery store. It'd be like a food for letting
Speaker 3: this Dominican. So I kept trying to go there. They
Speaker 3: have some better prices, all some things which is good,
Speaker 3: got some other things that you don't have everywhere. But
Speaker 3: I was like, we're in the middle of Dominican neighborhood.
Speaker 3: There's got to be Dominican women here. Well that never
Speaker 3: came to fruition. And now because they don't have self checkout,
Speaker 3: I have to abandon the place all together. There's just
Speaker 3: there's no no juice for the squeeze.
Speaker 1: No siblings, gl my brother Peter in the house a
Speaker 1: couple of days late, but on time, and get to this,
Speaker 1: this this good stuff. I like ethnic markets. I mean
Speaker 1: I do like State of Brothers. Shout out to my homeboy,
Speaker 1: mad he worked at State of brother He's a butcher,
Speaker 1: makes music. We've been talking about making some music. He
Speaker 1: always give me a great cut of meat. He'll if
Speaker 1: I want to get reb by Is on sale and
Speaker 1: I want to ground it up, like he'll do anything.
Speaker 1: He'll shout out to the butchers of the world, who
Speaker 1: really you know, will customize the customize exactly what you
Speaker 1: want when it comes to the animal department. And the
Speaker 1: only thing I like about going to State of Brothers,
Speaker 1: but I prefer ethnic markets. Like my favorite supermarket is
Speaker 1: y Artha Byarta is like a some Mexican market. They
Speaker 1: got like a fresh guacamole bar, so you can make
Speaker 1: your guacamole fresh.
Speaker 2: Like you can add just.
Speaker 1: The amount of avocado you want with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, uh, collapao,
Speaker 1: it's another pepper that you saw and pepper and like
Speaker 1: I get just enough. Most people don't know if you
Speaker 1: add just enough line and your guacamole.
Speaker 2: Won't change colors.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's just enough line and I get it
Speaker 1: made fresh. And I could get they make the chips
Speaker 1: fresh right there. But I still hate going to the
Speaker 1: chelf checkout line, Like I'm forced to go to the
Speaker 1: self checkout line because all the other lines have people,
Speaker 1: you know, the people are backed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So then now that's when it becomes a thing of
Speaker 1: my time, you know what I mean, because it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: it might take me an extra fifteen minutes of standing
Speaker 1: in line.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been like two people out at the
Speaker 3: self checkout bank because they have like five six you
Speaker 3: know of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been three people out, four people.
Speaker 3: Out, and then the person opens a new checkout lane
Speaker 3: and they want you to go first. Do you ever
Speaker 3: brush them off like a bad pitch.
Speaker 2: No, no, I always take that. I always accept that offer.
Speaker 3: I brush them off?
Speaker 1: No, no, I accept that offer. The thing I like
Speaker 1: about var Arthur right is they got a juice bar over.
Speaker 1: They'll make fresh juice that's doing in front of you.
Speaker 1: They make their tortillas fresh, and like I get with
Speaker 1: self checkout, right, it's the time, right, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: Like there's a long line to interact with the person. Sure,
Speaker 1: but it probably wouldn't be this long of a line
Speaker 1: if they have more counters open. Don't get me wrong, people,
Speaker 1: I could tell people reject self checkout because I won't
Speaker 1: lie to you like when I go to Circle K
Speaker 1: and it's a line of you know, four or five people,
Speaker 1: like in the self checkout machine is sitting right there
Speaker 1: and nobody's going I'll just walk right by and I
Speaker 1: won't lie. It's really fast. It's that's one of those
Speaker 1: places where it's fast. Like you said, whatever it is
Speaker 1: down on it's like Matt or like a like an
Speaker 1: electronic type of table Matt, and it figures exactly what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: I guess self checkout.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: If seven to eleven had a self checkout, that would
Speaker 3: be a game changer for my life. I'd probably be diabetic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably what's wrong now because I like, I
Speaker 1: go through the Circle KAY and they have a special
Speaker 1: on eighty five on sodas on any size for eighty
Speaker 1: five cent. Yeah, I need the ice for my gallon
Speaker 1: of water, So I always end up going and now
Speaker 1: like I've been able to get a tea or a
Speaker 1: power aid or something just so I could fill up
Speaker 1: the big cup with ice. But like that, that is time,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because it will be five
Speaker 1: six people trying to get gas in that line, and
Speaker 1: they're waiting in line to see an attendant yeah, and
Speaker 1: then I can walk right by to the little machine.
Speaker 1: I set it down and within five within three seconds,
Speaker 1: it pops up with a total I just tapped my.
Speaker 2: Phone on the machine and walk out.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to know, but I would imagine that's not
Speaker 1: stay like that, because you know, basically, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: all self checkout lines and then it's gonna take forever.
Speaker 3: I don't wanna take forever.
Speaker 2: Mean, the Walmart self checkout lines take favor.
Speaker 3: Walmart self checkout lines take forever, but they don't take
Speaker 3: as long as the regular lines. And it depends on
Speaker 3: which Walmart. Now. I famously live next door to the
Speaker 3: Haitian Walmart in North Miami Beach. The Haitian why do
Speaker 3: you call it? The Walmart itself was not Haitian, but
Speaker 3: the people inside were Haitian. It was the most that's
Speaker 3: the most Haitian dominant neighborhood, probably outside of Haiti in
Speaker 3: the whole world is North Miami. In North Fami Beach area,
Speaker 3: it was a societal collapse at the self checkout line
Speaker 3: every Sunday. It was just an absolute pandemonium shutdown of commerce.
Speaker 3: I'd never seen anything like it in my life ever.
Speaker 2: What it's just that many people.
Speaker 3: It was the lack of compet of the shoppers. You
Speaker 3: would have people paying in petty cash and change. You
Speaker 3: would have people with trying to implement portional payments on
Speaker 3: several cards, people who couldn't figure out how to work
Speaker 3: it at all. It was like there was not anybody
Speaker 3: who could just go up and execute the transaction in
Speaker 3: the streamline fashion at any of the checkouts ever. I mean,
Speaker 3: it was to the point I was a block from
Speaker 3: this from this place, and I was going miles away
Speaker 3: to another Walmart after like three months of living there.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a bit prejudice, but why did the
Speaker 1: other you going to Walmart? You seem like a Target person? Well, no,
Speaker 1: I don't like.
Speaker 2: Why don't you like Target?
Speaker 3: I just don't like it. I don't like the people
Speaker 3: of Target. Target's full of Karens and shit like that.
Speaker 3: I don't like those people. What do the workers do rome?
Speaker 1: No, I mean the other shoppers, Oh, they feel ritchy
Speaker 1: because theyn't Target.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like them. It's like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: like I don't like Target. But uh, that particular Walmart
Speaker 3: on the one sixty seventh is hell. The parking lots hell.
Speaker 3: The whole situation is just terrible. I never seen it.
Speaker 3: I've never seen I've been to Walmart's all over the country.
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like that ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if you should be going to Walmart.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know you you you're smart, You're
Speaker 1: you're economically sad. So I'd imagine you saving a dime,
Speaker 1: and I could imagine that time.
Speaker 2: Boy that times crazy from over.
Speaker 3: Here, like the one on seventy ninth Street, over like
Speaker 3: Liberty City area. Yeah, it's like paradise compared to that
Speaker 3: shit over there on the other one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never been to a good Walmart.
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as a good Walmart. There's just
Speaker 3: Walmarts that are better than other Walmarts compared to other
Speaker 3: Walmarts within their own ratings.
Speaker 2: The Walmart I go, who, everything is locked up.
Speaker 1: So if I go to Walmart, whatever I'm saving and price,
Speaker 1: I end up paying in time.
Speaker 3: That is a very California problem.
Speaker 2: I would have believed that. I don't believe that.
Speaker 1: But if I'm getting something that's behind the glass, you
Speaker 1: press the button, different workers is walking by and I'm
Speaker 1: like hey, and he's like, oh, this is not my department.
Speaker 1: Be like bro y'all should have access to all departments
Speaker 1: and you end up waiting. Like I remember one day
Speaker 1: I had got so irritated and in a moment of protest,
Speaker 1: I had made up my mind.
Speaker 2: I think it was like four fifty nine in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: I remember it because I said, if it turns five o'clock,
Speaker 1: I got there and I pressed that button. Had to
Speaker 1: be about four forty one or something, and I said
Speaker 1: it was about four fifty five, and I had made
Speaker 1: up my mind. I said, if it hits, I'm going
Speaker 1: to break this glass with something and make my purchase.
Speaker 1: Because I had already made up my mind that I
Speaker 1: was about to protest and set off like a national
Speaker 1: protest against Walmart and go.
Speaker 3: To jail to prove a point.
Speaker 1: And God, for sure, you know, an attendee came because
Speaker 1: it was about to happen, and I had prepared myself.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go to jail for
Speaker 2: this one. Now I'll be on the news.
Speaker 3: Walmart's workers, I've never seen such a widespread culture of
Speaker 3: workers under protest in my life. Like getting a Walmart
Speaker 3: employee to help you with anything is just it's a
Speaker 3: lost cost fools.
Speaker 2: Errand you know what's odd is it is customer service?
Speaker 1: Like when I go to Chick fil A or if
Speaker 1: I go to In and Out people are they seem.
Speaker 2: Like they are forced either.
Speaker 1: They have a much better attitude than when I go
Speaker 1: to certain places. And I've been asking people do they
Speaker 1: think it's the money or is it like the manager
Speaker 1: is hiring a chipper attitude.
Speaker 3: I think it's both. I think it's a standard. I
Speaker 3: think if you don't adhere to their standard, you're probably
Speaker 3: not gonna be there very long. And on a side note,
Speaker 3: to compare In and Out and Chick fil A for
Speaker 3: another weird personal anti human interaction issue I have in
Speaker 3: and Out God bless them. You order, you get a number,
Speaker 3: you're one O nine. Chick fil A asks for my name.
Speaker 3: I don't like that. I don't I want to go
Speaker 3: anywhere personal touch. No, I don't know, don't give me number, Pete.
Speaker 2: That go to the self check.
Speaker 1: That not the self che And I go to a
Speaker 1: regular cash register line and I'm going to call the
Speaker 1: person at the register by.
Speaker 3: Their name, likely Pete.
Speaker 1: I'm going to remember their name and then the next
Speaker 1: time I see them I'm be like, oh, hey, Heather.
Speaker 1: She was like, hey, I feel like the world is
Speaker 1: missing that, the personal connection of people caring who they
Speaker 1: are speaking to, even if it's even if it's not.
Speaker 1: Like if I saw Heather outside, we wouldn't talk. But
Speaker 1: when I walk into her, her establishment were her register,
Speaker 1: her line, somebody is going to talk to her.
Speaker 2: Hey, how's everything going.
Speaker 1: Somebody is going to talk to her like they actually
Speaker 1: care and are grateful that she's providing a service.
Speaker 2: I'm not like. I just saw this thing on.
Speaker 1: I might have sent it to you, But it was
Speaker 1: about this restaurant in uh, South Carolina in Myrtle Beach,
Speaker 1: and I think it's called Milk and Honey or something
Speaker 1: like that or something, and a lady ordered a medium
Speaker 1: well steak and they brought it out and she complained
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I guess you since not done enough. So there
Speaker 2: was when the chef came out each other.
Speaker 3: Who the waiter. I'd be complaining at her for ordering
Speaker 3: this medium well steak and embarrassing our restaurant, and then
Speaker 3: she's complaining that we gave it to her and.
Speaker 2: It's more well too. She wanted it more well.
Speaker 1: So so so.
Speaker 2: The chef comes out.
Speaker 1: I was like, you order it medium well, She's like yeah,
Speaker 1: but I wanted more done. It's like, well this is
Speaker 1: medium well. So to me, it was a conversation of
Speaker 1: you know some magics, like this is what a medium
Speaker 1: well steak looks like, Like this is the temperature, this
Speaker 1: is the picture, look at the picture. And the the
Speaker 1: owner comes out, and the owner like goes off, and
Speaker 1: the owner's being accused of, you know, saying some pretty
Speaker 1: unsavory things about black people.
Speaker 2: But I just thought it was funny.
Speaker 3: Aside from that aspect of it, I do endorse him
Speaker 3: getting on this person about that and then subsequently throwing
Speaker 3: them out of the establishment. Say the same thing on
Speaker 3: the stream.
Speaker 1: If if I opened the steakhouse, you couldn't get well
Speaker 1: done stakes here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we would not for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just you have to know, sir, you can't
Speaker 1: well done. I wonder well doesn't know, sir. This is
Speaker 1: you have to go to Ruth Chris for that street.
Speaker 3: Tacos are down there, buddy, And I'm not knocking tacos.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to make a sound like that, but
Speaker 3: you have to cook carne asada through otherwise it's.
Speaker 1: Chewy for sure, but I don't know, I just make
Speaker 1: people feel like why don't make people feel like I
Speaker 1: take that back, Like, like when I go to a
Speaker 1: place of business, I am hoping to have, you know,
Speaker 1: some level of exchange with another human energy, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean not necessarily negative or positive, but you know,
Speaker 1: to tap into the world, like to tap into humanity.
Speaker 3: If I wanted to do that, I would go to
Speaker 3: a place that where the customers were people, or or
Speaker 3: what I was ordering was interaction something like that. They're
Speaker 3: just in the way I go to the place for
Speaker 3: the thing that the place has. Everything else is just
Speaker 3: heat resistance.
Speaker 2: I don't go nowhere where people are going to meet people.
Speaker 3: Me neither. But if I did want to meet people,
Speaker 3: I would go to where the people were, where the
Speaker 3: people not going to meet people.
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a human experience with other humans.
Speaker 2: Look, I know that sound like it's the same.
Speaker 1: And people listening to this podcast like g tripping, I'm
Speaker 1: not like I don't like clubs because the goal is
Speaker 1: to meet people there, Like who gos places just to.
Speaker 2: Meet people looking to meet people.
Speaker 1: Now, if I go to a restaurant, right or excuse me,
Speaker 1: if I go to yr in the grocery store, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to.
Speaker 2: That product.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with meeting people, and I'm a personable person
Speaker 1: with meeting people, but I would never go so well
Speaker 1: when people were just waiting there to meet people, like
Speaker 1: plenty of fish, shout out to plenty of Fish, but
Speaker 1: I like, I probably wouldn't be on plenty of Fish
Speaker 1: because it's people trying to meet people.
Speaker 3: When you said shout out to plenty of fish, I
Speaker 3: was thinking of that. What's that place that all the
Speaker 3: girls out there like that where the food sucks? Which
Speaker 3: a California fish market.
Speaker 2: The rest of California pizza kitchen.
Speaker 3: What well you said plenty of fish? I thought you
Speaker 3: were in my head. It took me like a sex.
Speaker 1: You mean California Fish Grit, California Fish Grill.
Speaker 3: That's the place. That's what I was thinking about, plenty
Speaker 3: of Fish.
Speaker 2: I like California Fish Grill, like it sucks.
Speaker 3: Food sucks.
Speaker 2: What'd you get?
Speaker 3: I I've had more stupid bitches drag me to that
Speaker 3: goddamn place. I've had everything they offered.
Speaker 2: Okay, you gotta have.
Speaker 3: To because I have to try everything because the thing
Speaker 3: I had before sucked.
Speaker 2: You know what, get the corn chowder.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go anywhere for corn chowder.
Speaker 2: It's really good corn chowder, Pete.
Speaker 3: That's an oxymoronic phrase.
Speaker 2: You don't think corn chowder could be good.
Speaker 3: I'm not paying for corn chowder.
Speaker 1: I love chowder. That's one of my favorite things going
Speaker 1: to Washington. When I go to the state of Washington,
Speaker 1: not DC, is to get chowders.
Speaker 3: They like.
Speaker 1: I go to this place out there called Pike Place
Speaker 1: chowder and they got they have different chowders.
Speaker 2: Man, that chowder is so good.
Speaker 1: I love chowder and bisk Who would have thought a
Speaker 1: crip from watching like.
Speaker 2: Bisc or chowder.
Speaker 1: For years, I've just I deprived myself of the of
Speaker 1: the beauty of clam chowder and and and uh, the wonders,
Speaker 1: the deliciousness of clam chowder and being pis just off
Speaker 1: the titles the name of Hi. I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 1: can't be good clam bean pie, and I end up
Speaker 1: loving them. They immediately jetted up to my top ten
Speaker 1: favorite foods of all tie.
Speaker 3: You should open up a full spectrum chowderhouse and call
Speaker 3: it chowder down.
Speaker 1: Chowder down, I like that, Yeah, they called it and
Speaker 1: we make crab chowder. Call it crypt chowder. Yeah, COVID
Speaker 1: the right and Long Beach.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: Love chowder, man, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: People love a soup, especially in DC. People love soup.
Speaker 1: They got a soup house in DC. I guess it
Speaker 1: gets really cold. I don't know how good it would
Speaker 1: do on the West coast because we don't really get
Speaker 1: that cold. But this place opens up during the winter,
Speaker 1: and it does such great business that it only opens up.
Speaker 2: For the wintertime, fall them at a time, maybe even spring.
Speaker 3: Yeah hmm that I could see that even helping at
Speaker 3: least making the period where they're open that much more
Speaker 3: profitable because it's you know, it's like a seasonal treat.
Speaker 3: You don't take it for granted.
Speaker 1: And I've always had a dream too, of hosting my
Speaker 1: own chili cookoff. That's a dream chili.
Speaker 3: I'm down for shows in like Cincinnati or in Ohio
Speaker 3: at all. You know, it's all the cities in Cincinnati start.
Speaker 2: With c It's got it tight in Cincinnati. Oh you've
Speaker 2: been Ohio.
Speaker 3: Fuck, yeah, that's right enough to.
Speaker 2: Say Cincinnati, Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Well, they got some other ones well, Columbus cities for god,
Speaker 1: or all Sea to lead old gods start with a tea.
Speaker 1: They do got some major cities.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you just changed akron to a c R
Speaker 3: O N, you haven't made it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, crime the crime, yeah, acting to the crime.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I always had a dream of having my own
Speaker 1: chili cookoff. Yeah, that would be like.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 2: Fine, the coldest time.
Speaker 1: Figure out which days historically I have been the coldest
Speaker 1: day and have a chili cook off that day.
Speaker 3: Sure? Sure could you do like a combination, either an
Speaker 3: MLK Day chili cookoff or like a February first Start
Speaker 3: of Black History Month chili cookoff and make it like
Speaker 3: a like a dual purpose sort of promoted event. Those
Speaker 3: are both deep winter times.
Speaker 2: Say that again.
Speaker 3: MLK Day and February first to start Black History Month,
Speaker 3: those are like dead of winter. I mean, you have
Speaker 3: pretty good chance to check the farmers on the NAC
Speaker 3: but it's not usually warm in that kind of year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be cool. A taco shootout would be good too,
Speaker 2: the world's best taco because it can't.
Speaker 1: Nobody else make tacos really great except California. I mean,
Speaker 1: unless you go to another country.
Speaker 3: If you're in the Southwest footprint they're doing. They're doing
Speaker 3: fun Texas tacos. They're not it.
Speaker 1: Neither is Arizona. For some reason, it's not right. You
Speaker 1: would think Arizona for sure would be better. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's like a different part of Mexico than people.
Speaker 3: Last time out over Vegas, which was just this week
Speaker 3: on a layover, mm hmm, I might've had like the
Speaker 3: best tacos I've ever had, Like they were real good. Here.
Speaker 1: We need a taco like a taco shootout or something.
Speaker 1: Give me a shootout, give me something that rhymes with
Speaker 1: a tea. Top tacos, Yeah, the top taco. There's a
Speaker 1: place here.
Speaker 3: They the tacos Cubanos here, and I'm just completely throwing
Speaker 3: shade at the Cubans who are parading around like they're
Speaker 3: making tacos because they're not. Whatever the fuck they think
Speaker 3: they're making sucks and it's not tacos. But one of
Speaker 3: the names of the places is called talking Tacos, and
Speaker 3: you could do something like that called takin Tacos and
Speaker 3: do like a series of podcast interviews or something like that.
Speaker 3: So we're talking and they're doing tacos same time. I
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: A taco a series of Taco podcasts. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: a really great place in New York. It was in
Speaker 1: a downtown New York not not necessarily smacking Manhattan, but
Speaker 1: it was I went to visit Orchard. Shout out to
Speaker 1: Hami Naji, shout out to everybody over there at uh Orchard.
Speaker 1: But it was a taco place and it was on
Speaker 1: a good and they were smack dead and and and down.
Speaker 2: It was in New York City.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't quite in. It wasn't in No Borroughs.
Speaker 1: I mean it was Manhattan, I guess, but it was
Speaker 1: like it actually was surprisingly you know. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say great, but it was very digestible for a
Speaker 1: taco in New York.
Speaker 3: Do you think it had anything to do with that
Speaker 3: guy who was the rapper who was a Mexican that
Speaker 3: was a snitch from New York, like he got out
Speaker 3: of the rap game and starting tacos.
Speaker 2: Hell, No, that dude don't know nothing about.
Speaker 3: Being I just couldn't think of his fucking name.
Speaker 2: Six nine.
Speaker 1: That's right, No, Tokashi's dude, he walking around open up
Speaker 1: to Kashi's he's so mad.
Speaker 3: He should have tacos linguists because he can't keep his
Speaker 3: mouth shut, and that's all he has is tacos linguists solo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I just realized that.
Speaker 1: I just think that, Uh, I don't like that idea
Speaker 1: self checked out. I think I think again, we keep
Speaker 1: suspending some level of quad Like you know, this is
Speaker 1: why people crazy in the first time. They already have
Speaker 1: enough time away from humans to where like, you gotta
Speaker 1: be a different type of mad to kill, you know,
Speaker 1: to to murder fifty six like dude in Vegas that
Speaker 1: have fifty to sixty people. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: You have to be isolated somewhere for a while, because
Speaker 1: I get that problem wasn't gonna get solved by self checkout.
Speaker 3: So nothing about that guy said self checkout to me.
Speaker 1: Everything about that guy, that guy been sitting up his
Speaker 1: house having food delivered to his house.
Speaker 2: There's no way you can.
Speaker 3: Just can't know how to use an app, no chance.
Speaker 2: No way you could kill sixty people if you exchange
Speaker 2: every day. Huh, No way that.
Speaker 3: Guy knew how to use an app. I think about
Speaker 3: that guy said app.
Speaker 1: That guy said app, You don't think so nope, everything
Speaker 1: what him says Amazon and hunting.
Speaker 2: He went and bought guns from hunting places.
Speaker 3: If if you had, if I had seen that guy
Speaker 3: and heard his profile and all the rest of it,
Speaker 3: and he's got all these guns and all this shit,
Speaker 3: you told me he shot up a music festival, the
Speaker 3: last type of festival I would ever guess in a
Speaker 3: million years within country music. I would have run out
Speaker 3: of genres. I'd be like, well, couldn't been country, I
Speaker 3: was what the fucko? Pop festival? That would be my
Speaker 3: first guest, Mariachi would have been my second guest.
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody else. He just went to the killer.
Speaker 1: Why usually when white people get that type of mad pete,
Speaker 1: they end up killing a bunch of white people. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true, Like the most upset white people, like they
Speaker 1: just go crazy on white and not just be thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, like what the fuck was he that upset about?
Speaker 3: He had some sort of a weird marriage fallout or something.
Speaker 3: Didn't you remember? Like they found this white in like
Speaker 3: two seconds, Like what the fuck happened? It's like, I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 2: Eminem did a song about him, but I don't.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I saw it, but I didn't really dig into it.
Speaker 1: I guess it didn't get my attention. But some of
Speaker 1: these people just like different.
Speaker 3: But people have been going nuts for a long long time.
Speaker 3: They're just getting better at it. It's like a learning
Speaker 3: curve of maniac outbreaks.
Speaker 2: Nuts nutsness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of one upsmanship, if you will.
Speaker 2: So you would like a world where you go to
Speaker 2: the store and it's all self checkouts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just just get me in, get me the
Speaker 3: fuck out.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you don't use more apps. They cost more.
Speaker 1: You gotta pay for the delivery. And I don't for
Speaker 1: people to pick out the good ship like I pick
Speaker 1: out the good ship. That's the other part.
Speaker 3: I'm making very little confidence in others I don't have.
Speaker 3: I'm not a wealth of self confidence. You could imagine
Speaker 3: how much less confidence I have in others. If I'm
Speaker 3: on a one to ten, I have a sense of
Speaker 3: self confidence as a one there are negative five is
Speaker 3: everybody else? At best?
Speaker 2: You have no faith in humanity?
Speaker 3: No what they've done for me?
Speaker 2: Oh man, none.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of confidence in them fucking up
Speaker 3: and fucking me over in so doing.
Speaker 1: But okay, if his produce or meat palls, what else
Speaker 1: could they mess up?
Speaker 2: But can't it chili?
Speaker 3: Anything? Anything? Just give them the chance. Whatever can be
Speaker 3: fucked up. It's Murphy's law. Whatever could go wrong will
Speaker 3: go wrong. For sure. They'll find me a box of
Speaker 3: cereal with a hole in the bottom of it, and
Speaker 3: I'll get a quarter of a box of cereal. Whytch,
Speaker 3: you grab one of the holds the bottom.
Speaker 1: So you don't like that convenience at war because it
Speaker 1: messes up the quality.
Speaker 3: A little bit. Honestly, I wouldn't pay for it. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't pay the extra for it.
Speaker 2: That's all just the money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it probably would take longer or be comfortable.
Speaker 1: But what about when it has those self checkout robots
Speaker 1: that come do all of that stuff.
Speaker 3: No, I don't like that because at some point in
Speaker 3: time I have to be video interacting with the robot,
Speaker 3: and then that video is stored to a cloud, and
Speaker 3: I don't need that.
Speaker 1: What if the robot just drops it off at your
Speaker 1: door and then it just leaves depends on what have
Speaker 1: you got those self automated cars? No, how long is
Speaker 1: take for you to try one of those.
Speaker 3: Until I really really know that one of those is
Speaker 3: gonna show up When I'm out drunk, when you're not drunk,
Speaker 3: when I'm out drunk, if I'm out drinking and I
Speaker 3: know this is like three dollars to get home with
Speaker 3: one of the Motto cars, and yeah, bring them on it,
Speaker 3: but I don't want to order it on like an app,
Speaker 3: thinking I'm gonna get an empty car, and then some
Speaker 3: shithead shows up and I'm like, well, I could drive
Speaker 3: myself home drunk. I got you here.
Speaker 2: They have a lot of those cars now in La.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that less than they used to was
Speaker 3: since they burnt all those ones up.
Speaker 2: They drive so crazy.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I was in the traffic next too. I was like, ah, man,
Speaker 2: I don't like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I got stuck behind one trying to make a
Speaker 3: right turn for about ten minutes a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: And I know it's a learning curve, but Jesus, Christs
Speaker 1: seemed like so much to be playing with right now.
Speaker 3: They need more of them here, like for sure, the
Speaker 3: federal government needs to put its foot down and invest
Speaker 3: in having a lot more of them here, because as
Speaker 3: bad as they are the human drivers here, the robots
Speaker 3: are shitting all over the human drivers' faces in South Florida.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a broken system, failed model. As
Speaker 3: much as people complain about traffic in Los Angeles and
Speaker 3: how the Nola can drive. People in California know how
Speaker 3: to fucking drive, and there is a lot of traffic there,
Speaker 3: but it's usually because you have to go a longer ways.
Speaker 1: With a lot more people. Yeah, so where does your
Speaker 1: self checkout stop? What about a doctor's office that's hard
Speaker 1: to do, like an AI, like a AI diagnosis bothering me?
Speaker 3: It depends on what it is.
Speaker 1: What's one thing you wouldn't take AI or like a
Speaker 1: self checkout type of operation.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not big on AI anything that's
Speaker 3: requires like high level decision making.
Speaker 1: Because I think it would be cool with a robot
Speaker 1: to build your burger if you go to five guys.
Speaker 3: Or I'm invested in a company that does that.
Speaker 1: But that don't mean you would eat it. It's people
Speaker 1: that invest in prison, but they have no desire to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't mean they don't have any desire for
Speaker 3: people to end up there.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I take the place. It might have closed down. Pasadena
Speaker 3: have the fully automated restaurant, the model restaurant, but I
Speaker 3: think they close it down. But yeah, shouldn't camp.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like they're you don't think it
Speaker 1: takes no skills to make a burger?
Speaker 3: Not not at that level. No, not those kind of burgers. Now, none,
Speaker 3: At which level burger do it take skills to make?
Speaker 3: If you're five guys? Can the robot make a five
Speaker 3: guys burger? Yeah? A robot cannot make a burgers as
Speaker 3: it would be referred to in Los Angeles. Most of
Speaker 3: our listener audience quote unquote and this isn't the quote unquote,
Speaker 3: but my quote unquote as edited. Can black people burgers
Speaker 3: that are thick that might require a texture or a
Speaker 3: juiciness or something like that that needs personal touch, but
Speaker 3: cook it all the way through, flat thin whatever? The fuck?
Speaker 3: Bang bang bang d da da move on doesn't really.
Speaker 1: In and out, So shout out to in and out
Speaker 1: because they haven't gave in to AI neither.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in and out would very easily be replaceable by AI.
Speaker 3: That spot. That's to Nickerson Gardens Hoggins. Yeah, no, no
Speaker 3: AI over there, that would not you would get a
Speaker 3: quality dip.
Speaker 2: Okay, what about to work on your car?
Speaker 3: Fuck they make the car they do.
Speaker 2: Seems like a natural progression.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's already enough computer sensory in the car to
Speaker 3: determine where the problem is. I get it an AIDOL.
Speaker 2: So people, what do people with jobs? How do people
Speaker 2: get jobs?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: How do you take care of humanity in America? If
Speaker 1: you replace it all for the sake of convenience?
Speaker 2: How do you be a human?
Speaker 1: If you just if there are businesses pursuing maximum profit
Speaker 1: because they can use a machine versus the natural element. Yes,
Speaker 1: capitalism is very much a profit thing and it could
Speaker 1: be evil, but at least to some degree, you're forced
Speaker 1: to care for some humans, you know in this version.
Speaker 2: But if it goes all ai.
Speaker 1: What is humans gonna do, especially humans that don't have
Speaker 1: the opportunities to get education? How does this work? God
Speaker 1: tell me you can't. As much as as much as
Speaker 1: you're a villain, you're not that type of villain. As
Speaker 1: much as I what a villain, You're not that type
Speaker 1: of villain? Are you not the type of villain? Not
Speaker 1: just somebody left it on the street? You may yep,
Speaker 1: Well that the next step I'm going How do you
Speaker 1: how do you care for a society if if you don't,
Speaker 1: If you don't.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't walk over a dead body on the street, You.
Speaker 1: Will walk over a dead body. But you wouldn't walk
Speaker 1: over a body dying. Sure I would know you wouldn't
Speaker 1: call the police.
Speaker 3: No, yes, no chance, Yes, I want no part of that. None.
Speaker 2: You will call the police and leave.
Speaker 3: No, they'll have my number, they'll drag me back, they'll
Speaker 3: suppe to me back like that.
Speaker 2: But how okay? Mindus that? How do you? How do
Speaker 2: we do that?
Speaker 3: Well? Because what you would get more is customization stuff,
Speaker 3: and you would get more of there is still always
Speaker 3: going to be a large swath of the human consumer
Speaker 3: that does want that human touch like you have. So
Speaker 3: then you would just be able to, you know, deploy
Speaker 3: more direct human touch and more customization and more uniqueness.
Speaker 3: And you'd also drift more into focus on the creative
Speaker 3: aspects of marketing, of advertising, of presentation, of all these
Speaker 3: various things. Because the like while people say AI is
Speaker 3: always learning, so is the human mind. So what one
Speaker 3: you know, be it marketing or one ambiance or whatever
Speaker 3: the hell, You're exposed to it once it's novel, it's new,
Speaker 3: it's interesting, the second time, you're desensitized to it, the
Speaker 3: third time, the fourth time. So you need human beings
Speaker 3: to be in touch with human beings to be able
Speaker 3: to upload even relay that evolution of thought and opinion
Speaker 3: into an AI apparats, because the AI apparats is not
Speaker 3: gonna be able to observe that on his own, no
Speaker 3: matter what the fuck they coulde into it.
Speaker 1: You just feel like poor people will get the fucking
Speaker 1: foot again, but even worse this time, people who can't
Speaker 1: afford that type of stuff, that type edgic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's gonna be interesting. They're in this like
Speaker 3: largely the same position now anyhow. You know, it'll be
Speaker 3: a massive, like a massive reduction and cost of goods,
Speaker 3: so that would help, but like education deficits and whatnot,
Speaker 3: wealth stratification is largely timeless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just on a protesting themself checkouts.
Speaker 3: I'm just not.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just complaining, But I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: just because enough humans don't care.
Speaker 3: Sure, most people gravitate to the self checkout.
Speaker 2: You know, every AI movie is.
Speaker 1: The end of humanity, Like there's never a movie where
Speaker 1: AI humanity works out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, but that's not a real compelling movie.
Speaker 1: Pretty much is probably exactly what's gonna happen. I just
Speaker 1: don't know how long it's gonna take that.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't worry.
Speaker 1: I don't know if if it's matrix or is it
Speaker 1: eye robot?
Speaker 3: What what? What?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Is it will be something where you would get some
Speaker 3: cabal of deviant, malicious masterminds. They would have to hack
Speaker 3: into the program and like firewall corruption into the AI
Speaker 3: robots themselves. They think they wouldn't do it themselves. It
Speaker 3: would have to happen at the end put point. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that could happen. And I think that that'll happen
Speaker 3: a lot like I think like the next phase of
Speaker 3: like high level military conflicts, because now you're seeing we're
Speaker 3: gonna you know, drone technology and AI being put into
Speaker 3: ballistics and all the rest of it. All that means
Speaker 3: is beyond signal jamming. It's like hacking. Like imagine if
Speaker 3: you hacked successfully high level US military artillery and turned
Speaker 3: it against itself like that would be not good. That's
Speaker 3: what countries will be trying to back and forth against
Speaker 3: one another you all the time.
Speaker 1: Okay, last question, then I'm gonna let it go. Are
Speaker 1: you in for the self checkout robots? The women robots.
Speaker 3: I'm confused if there's a robot that looks like a woman.
Speaker 3: Then it's not a self checkout.
Speaker 1: I'll be I be just the AI technology I called
Speaker 1: it self check out.
Speaker 3: What's that kind to do with the robots?
Speaker 1: Like the sex robots? How they started to make the robots? Yes,
Speaker 1: how far are you willing to go with this? No,
Speaker 1: that's that's out, that's too far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because again it's the same reason why I don't
Speaker 3: why I haven't converted the prostitutes. Why is that I
Speaker 3: don't trust the prostitute not to fake it, so I
Speaker 3: don't get the the ego fulfillment that is necessary for
Speaker 3: that experience. Same thing with the robot. I'm not good
Speaker 3: because I just broke off this robot. I feel real
Speaker 3: good about myself. No, not how it works.
Speaker 1: Then, looking out for tuning into the No Sillers podcast.
